ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Risk Factors Relating to Delta
We filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code on September 14, 2005 and are subject to the risks and
uncertainties associated with Chapter 11 proceedings.
For the duration of our Chapter 11 proceedings, our operations, including our ability to execute our business plan, are subject to
the risks and uncertainties associated with bankruptcy. Risks and uncertainties associated with our Chapter 11 proceedings include the
following:
• the actions and decisions of our creditors and other third parties who have interests in our Chapter 11 proceedings that
may be inconsistent with our plans;
• our ability to obtain court approval with respect to motions in the Chapter 11 proceedings prosecuted from time to time;
• our ability to develop, prosecute, confirm and consummate a plan of reorganization with respect to the Chapter 11
proceedings;
• our ability to obtain and maintain normal terms with vendors and service providers;
• our ability to maintain contracts that are critical to our operations; and
• risks associated with third parties seeking and obtaining court approval to terminate or shorten the exclusivity period
for us to propose and confirm a plan of reorganization, to appoint a Chapter 11 trustee or to convert the cases to
Chapter 7 cases.
These risks and uncertainties could affect our business and operations in various ways. For example, negative events or publicity
associated with our Chapter 11 proceedings could adversely affect our sales of tickets and the relationship with our customers, as well
as with vendors and employees, which in turn could adversely affect our operations and financial condition, particularly if the
Chapter 11 proceedings are protracted. Also, transactions outside the ordinary course of business are subject to the prior approval of
the Bankruptcy Court, which may limit our ability to respond timely to certain events or take advantage of certain opportunities.
Because of the risks and uncertainties associated with our Chapter 11 proceedings, the ultimate impact that events that occur
during these proceedings will have on our business, financial condition and results of
